This was kind of my experience. But it was when BBS then web forums went to Six Degrees then Friendster. MySpace was mainly great for music discovery. Then Facebook walled garden destroyed it all.

@[email protected] and yet... back in 1990 I was thinking that everyone would connect and be exposed to all the *good* info/culture/ideas. Why did all the crap get boosted when all the good was there for the taking? It can't be coincidence that I can pinpoint the moment I thought things were suddenly heading suckward - it was when everyone wanted to join Facebook, closely followed by Google buying up a bunch of services and merging all my accounts on them. I was heavily into internet-enabled phones before "smartphones" became a thing, and again saw my hopes dashed when everyone jumped onto WhatsApp.

In March 1989, British scientist Tim Berners-Lee handed a document titled “Information Management: A Proposal” to his @CERN supervisor, who called it “vague but exciting.” This proposal would eventually lead to the birth of the World Wide Web (WWW).

Thank you, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, for changing the world!

Even swipen, appen of een kattenfilmpje kijken? 🐈

Op deze dag in 1989 presenteerde Tim Berners-Lee zijn idee voor het World Wide Web. 🤯

Een simpel voorstel op papier dat onze wereld voorgoed zou veranderen! 🌍

#Mastodon's “quote protection” for “unauthorized” quotes is a farce. It won't show the preview AND not show you the link in the UI of the PWA, but you can trivially look at the JSON to find the link and follow it as any regular link. So can we please just stop the pretense that this is going to do anything to prevent abuse and show the link when the preview is not available, like with ANY OTHER LINK?

#WoodWideWeb nennen Forscher:innen das Mycel-Netz im Wald. Ein Netz ohne Zentrale. Was gebraucht wird, fließt. Was stirbt, nährt das Ganze.

Wir Menschen haben uns ein anderes Netz gebaut – das #WorldWideWeb. Es war als kooperatives Netzwerk gedacht, doch heute bestimmen ein paar wenige Konzerne darüber, wie wir uns informieren, verbinden, organisieren. Wer Reichweite bekommt, – und wer nicht. Das ist keine Kleinigkeit. Das ist eine Machtfrage.
